Strange Pairs Poems 3rd & 4th Grade @ Avondale Logandale Winter 2020

During the 4th week of the Chicago Poetry Residency students were encouraged to let go of traditional writing and play with words and their imaginations. Students were prompted to explore connecting two things that seem strange or impossible to coexist.

Strange Pairs

I would like shoes made of flowers.

I would like a bed made of pizza.

I would like a phone made of cotton.

I would like a marker made of books.

I would like a water bottle made of money.

I would like a book made of lights.

I wish for a book of candy.

I wish I had a shirt of cheetos.

I wish I had a bow of shows.

I would like a snow of pencils.

I wish I can see my grandma again.

I wish I had a new pair of glasses

I wish I had a room of money.

I wish I had a rhino of diamonds.
